THE UNFORGOTTEN. 



BY E. A. C. 



Spring- smiled upon the lovely land, 

This mother-land of ours, 
And gently flung- o'er brow and hand 
Bright coronals of flowers. 
"Arise, fair mother-land," she cried, 
"And deck once the bed 
Where sleep the children of thy pride — 
The unforgotten dead ! " 

Sons of thy sorrow and thy pride — 

Love hath no fitter name 
For those who gathered at thy side 

And battled for thy fame. 
And smile, sad mother — thro' thy tears 

Lift up thine eyes and see 
The promise of the harvest years. 

They died to win for thee. 

They sowed in duty, and the cost 

Was paid on hill and plain. 
They sowed in honor — nought is lost — 

Such knighthood to maintain. 
Ours the repose of strength long tried 

In well-defended trust. 
Ours the bright wealth of stainless pride 

Dimmed by no venal dust. 

O, sleepers, when the ripened grain 

Its rich abundance yields. 
If we forget the toil and pain 

Which ploughed those bloody fields, 
Then may the glittering sheaves which cost 

Such agony and death. 
Be swept away like dead leaves tossed 

Upon the storm -wind's breath.

HISTORICAL. 



NO one seems to question the fact that Mr. J. B. Welsh, manufactu- 
rer of furniture in this city, was the first person to suggest the 
building of a monument to the private soldiers and sailors of the 
Confederate army and navy on Libby Hill. His suggestion met with the 
ready sympathy of an old gentleman named Boswell, who has since died. 
Capt. Frank Cunningham, the present City Collector, talked the matter 
over with the two gentlemen already named, and they together soon en- 
listed the interest and sympathy of many other citizens who were neigh- 
bors of theirs. Frequent conferences resulted in a meeting in the Mar- 
shall-Club rooms, in the large old residence which was once the home of 
a Mr. Lipscombe. This meeting occurred on the 1st of December, 1887, 
and Hon. D. C. Richardson, formerly Police Justice of the city, and now 
a practicing lawyer, was called to the chair, and Carlton McCarthy was 
made secretary />r(? tern. On motion of Mr. John A. Curtis the Chair ap- 
pointed a committee of five to prepare business for the meeting, and the 
committee named was as follows : John A. Curtis, R. S. M. Valentine, 
J. C. Dickerson, W. H. Curtis, and B. H. Berry. The committee soon 
made the following report : 

"'Resolved, That we do hereby organize ourselves into an association 
to be known as ' The Confederate Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument Asso- 
ciation.' The object of the Association is to raise money for the erection 
on Libby' s Hill, in this city, ot a Monument to perpetuate the memory 
and deeds of the Private Soldiers and Sailors of the Confederate States. 

The officers of the Association shall be : One President, six Vice-Presi- 
dents, one Secretary, one Treasurer, and a Board of Directors, consisting 
of the above-named officers and six members from each ward of the city — 
all to be elected by the Association for the term of one year.

At the same meeting it was resolved to hold a mass-meeting in Corco- 
ran Hall on Friday the 9th of December, and a committee of five persons 
was appointed to prepare a bill incorporating the Association. The Chair 
named the following committee : William H. Curtis, Benjamin H. Berry, 
Charles V. Meredith, George L. Christian, and T. Wiley Davis. 

The Chair having suggested the desirability of beginning at once the 
practical work of raising money, those who were present began liberally 
to subscribe, and before the meeting adjourned $725 was subscribed by 
those present. 

At a meeting held on the 8th of December, 1887, Judge George L. 
Christian, on behalf of the Sub-Committee on Charter, presented a draft 
of a bill incorporating the Association, which was accepted, and the com- 
mittee was directed to present the bill to the Legislature. 

At a meeting held on the 29th of December, 1887, a committee of five 
was appointed to make arrangements for a mass-meeting at the Rich- 
mond Theatre, and the Chair appointed for that purpose the following :

sented a certified copy of a resolution of the City Council of Richmond 
appropriating five thousand dollars ($5,000) to aid in the erection of the 
monument, and donating Marshall Park, on Libby Hill, as a site for the 
monument. 

At the same meeting Lee Camp of Confederate Veterans was invited to 
appoint a committee of ten of their members to co-operate with the Asso- 
ciation in the furtherance of its purpose, and the Camp was invited to 
attend in a body the mass-meeting to be held at the Richmond Theatre

At a meeting held on the 8d of May, 1888, W. E. Cutshaw, T. Wiley 
Davis, and Lewis D. Crenshaw, Jr., were appointed a committee to secure 
a design or plan for the monument. At this meeting the Treasurer made 
a report, which is inserted here in order to show the small beginning of 
the great enterprise : 

Receipts to May 1, 1888 S120 25 

Expenditures 34 57 

Balance in the treasury S 85 68 

At a meeting held on the 5th of September, 1889, Mr. C. V. Meredith 
reported that proceedings for the condemnation of the land contiguous to 
the site of the monument were completed, and that the Council would 
probably appropriate funds for the purchase at once. This meant that 
the city would own the whole of Libby Hill down to Main and Rocketts 
streets. 

At a meeting held on the 26th of September, 1889, Col. W. E. Cut- 
shaw, on behalf of the Committee on Design, recommended that the Asso- 
ciation adopt as a model for the monument Pompey's Pillar, near Alex- 
andria, Egypt, and presented with his report complete drawings of the 
pillar, giving dimensions, construction, ornamental details, etc., and after 
a full statement from Colonel Cutshaw the Association adopted the fol- 
lowing resolutions : 

1st. That the Confederate Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument shall be a 
reproduction in granite of the column near Alexandria, Egypt, com- 
monly called Pompey's Pillar. The column to be surmounted by a 
bronze figure of a private soldier of the Confederate army. 

2d. That the column shall consist of a base, die, and capital, essen- 
tially as in the original pillar at Alexandria, and a shaft of the same pro- 
portions and measm-ements as the shaft of the original, but composed of 
thirteen blocks, typifying the thirteen Confederate States.

seem best, simply this :

And if the thirteen States lately composing the Confederate States do 
each of them actually contribute one block of the shaft, then, on another 
face of the die, or base, as may appear best, these words only : 

THIS SHAFT 

IS COMPOSED OF 

THIRTEEN BLOCKS 

CONTRIBUTED BY 

THE THIRTEEN CONFEDERATE STATES.

4th. That the Committee on Design be and are hereby empowered to 
select a sculptor to execute a suitable bronze figure for the column, and to 
obtain from him a model at least one-half life size, the model to be sub- 
mitted to the Board for approval and adoption, and adopted before any 
order is given or any contract made for the execution of the work. 

5th. That Col. W. E. Cutshaw is hereby requested and authorized to 
assume control of the construction and erection of the monument as en- 
gineer in charge, with instructions to begin the work as soon as the neces-

City Attorney has reported a clear title to the lands adjacent to the site 
and recently condemned.

6th. That as soon as the Engineer can furnish drawings, dimensions, 
and estimates of the cost of the successive stones to compose the shaft, 
appeals shall be made to the Legislatures of the thirteen Confederate 
States, asking from each a contribution of one of the blocks, or a sum 
of money sufficient to purchase one. 

7th. That all the committees of the Board are hereby urged to prose- 
cute their assigned work, to the end that the task assumed by the Asso- 
ciation may be taken up at once, and prosecuted without delay to com- 
pletion. 

On the 9th of April, 1890, the Association resolved to push the work 
on the monument as far as the fifth dressed stone, which would carry the 
work up to the round-moulded base course of the shaft. Mr. James Neth- 
erwood being the lowest bidder for this work, the contract was awarded 
to him, and he immediately began the work. 

On the 26th of February, 1891, the Committee on Foreign Subscrip- 
tions was authorized to correspond with the governors of the thirteen 
States lately composing the Confederate States with a view to securing 
contributions, and some effort was made in this direction, but without 
success. It was at this meeting that Col. W. P. Smith, State Commander 
of Confederate Veterans, and Past Commander Lee Camp, C. V., was 
requested to use his endeavors to enlist the sympathy and aid of all the 
Confederate Veteran Associations throughout the State. 

On the loth of March, 1891, Lee Camp appointed the following com- 
mittee to co-operate with the Confederate Soldiers' and Sailors' Monu- 
ment Association: J. Taylor Stratton, N. V. Randolph, James T. Ferri- 
ter, John Murphy, and W. P. Smith. At the same meeting the Treasurer 
reported that his 

Total receipts were $1,247 27 

Expenditures 864 24 

Balance on hand $383 03 

At a meeting held on the 2d of April, 1891, the Association authorized 
the appointment of a solicitor for the city of Richmond, and Mr. J. Taylor 
Stratton was appointed to that position, and through his efforts many

contributions were made by the citizens of Richmond generally. At this 
meeting Col. W. P. Smith reported that Lee Camp had voted the Asso- 
ciation a contribution of one thousand dollars ($1,000). 

At a meeting held on the 2d of June, 1891, the following committee 
was appointed to solicit special contributions from the citizens of Rich- 
mond: Lewis D. Crenshaw, John B. Cary, Robert S. Bosher, George L. 
Christian, John A. Curtis, J. Taylor Ellyson, and W. E. Cutshaw. The 
Treasurer reported a balance on hand of $2,094.41. It was at this meet- 
ing that, on motion of Mr. T. Wiley Davis, the engineer in charge (Col. 
W. E. Cutshaw) was authorized to contract with Mr. Netherwood for the 
completion of the stone work of the Monument, at a cost of twelve thou- 
sand dollars ($12,000), and it is due Mr. Netherwood to say, at this point, 
that although the Association had scarcely a dollar in hand, he at once 
commenced the work and pushed it vigorously forward until the last 
stone was laid. His confidence in the success of the undertaking was 
simply wonderful, and he never hesitated to work at any time as cheerfully 
and vigorously as if the scheme was backed by millions. 

At a meeting held on the olst of August, 1891, Col. John B. Cary 
reported that Hon. A. M. Keiley would deliver a lecture at Mozart Hall 
on the 15th of September for the benefit of the monument fund. The 
lecture was delivered to one of the largest lecture-audiences ever gathered 
in Richmond, and was pronounced by those who heard it a most intensely 
interesting lecture. It w-as, moreover, a decided financial success. 

At a meeting held on the 28th of December, J 891, the Association 
received the cheering information that House Bill No. 39, Virginia Legis- 
lature, appropriating thirty-two hundred dollars ($3200) would probably 
pass to its third reading about the 7th of January. The bill was finally 
passed by both branches of the Legislature and approved by the Gover- 
nor, and the amount appropriated was used to pay for the capital of the 
column. At that same meeting Mr. William H. Curtis reported that 
arrangements had been made for three performances of the opera ' ' Pina- 
fore," and these performances came off in due time before crowded 
audiences, and added materially to the funds of the Association. 

At a meeting held on the 1st of November, 1892, the Association took 
action on two important matters. On motion of Mr. Curtis a committee

of three — consisting of Colonel Cutshaw, Colonel Cary, and J. Taylor 
Ellyson — was appointed to confer with the ladies of the Hollywood and 
Oakwood Memorial Associations with a view to holding a grand bazaar 
for the benefit of the monument fund. And at the same meeting the 
Committee on Design was authorized to secure a model for the statue to 
surmount the column, and were left at liberty to select their own artist. 
The committee was, however, required to submit any model they might 
secure to the Association for adoption. 

At a meeting held in July, 1893, the Association acknowledged the 
receipt of over fourteen thousand dollars ($14,000) from the bazaar con- 
ducted by the ladies of Richmond, and suitable resolutions of thanks were 
adopted. At the same meeting the Association adopted a design for the 
statue which was reported by the Committee on Design, and the contract 
was awarded to Mr. W. L. Sheppard, and the President and Secretary 
were authorized to execute a contract with Mr. Sheppard for the modelling 
and casting of the colossal statue in bronze. 

At a meeting held on the 24th of February, 1894, it being apparent tha^ 
the work on the monument would be all completed and the statue in place 
by that time, it was resolved to unveil the monument on the 30th of May, 
1894, and a committee of five persons was appointed, with full authority 
to take charge of all the ceremonies incident to that event, the committee 
to be composed of the President as Chairman ex -officio, and the following: 
John B. Cary, N. V. Randolph, J. T. Ellyson, George L. Christian, and 
Charles L. Todd. Subsequently W. E. Cutshaw and William H. Curtis 
were added to the committee. At the same meeting a committee of five 
were appointed, with full power to select an orator for the occasion, and 
the committee was named as follows : John B. Cary, John A. Curtis, 
Beverly T. Crump, C. E. Wingo, and George L. Christian. At the same 
meeting Lee Camp, Confederate Veterans, and Pickett Camp, Confed- 
erate Veterans, were invited to co-operate with the Monument Association 
in the unveiling ceremonies. 

The entire cost of the granite work on this monument has been about 
twenty-four thousand dollars ($24,000), and when completed by the addi- 
tion of the bronze will have cost over thirty thousand dollars ($30,000). 
The whole of the structure has been built under the careful supervision of

Col. W. E. Cutshaw, City Engineer of Richmond, and engineer in charge 
of the monument, and has been executed by Mr. James Netherwood. 

The statue surmounting the shall was designed by Mr. Wm. L. Shep- 
pard, of Richmond, and modelled at the studio of Caspar Buberl, New 
York, by the combined labors of Messrs. Sheppard and Buberl. The 
•casting was done by the Henry- Bonnard Bronze Company, of New York 
city. 

It may be truly said that this splendid tribute to the soldier and sailor is 
the gift of the people of Virginia and the South. Men and women, boys 
and girls, all did their share in the work necessary to raise this noble 
shaft. The space allotted to this brief statement forbids the mention by 
name of the hundreds of enthusiastic workers in this great enterprise. 
The ladies who conducted the bazaar certainly deserve and will surely 
have unqualified praise and lasting gratitude for the splendid and self- 
sacrificing labors which they freely gave this good work, and which were 
handsomely rewarded by substantial returns, in the shape of money, to so 
great an amount that, as a result, the Association was instantly relieved of 
all embarrassment, and was enabled to push the work to completion, 
confident of their ability to pay the last dollar of its cost. There are 
hundreds of persons whose names we cannot record here who will look 
upon this completed shaft and derive quiet satisfaction from the knowledge 
they have of their own sacrifices made in order to contribute their share 
to the upraising of a dignified and enduring monument to the Confederate 
soldiers who have laid down their lives, and to those also who now await 
their call to the Great Assembly. The inscriptions on the Monument 
are purposely brief and simple, but yet comprehensive. Let him who 
looks upon this shaft seek the history of the men it memoriahzes in the 
many books which have come from the hearts of those who survived the 
downfall of their country.

Headquarters Army Northern Virginia, 

Appomattox C. H., April 10th, 1865. 
General Orders, 

No. 9. 

After four years of arduous service, marked by unsur- 
passed courage and fortitude, the Army of Northern Virginia has been 
compelled to yield to overwhelming numbers and resources. 

I need not tell the survivors of so many hard-fought battles, who 
have remained steadfast to the last, that I have consented to this result 
from no distrust of them; but, feeling that valor and devotion could 
accomplish nothing that could compensate for the loss that would have 
attended the continuation of the contest, I have determined to avoid the 
useless sacrifice of those whose past services have endeared them to their 
countrymen. 

By the terms of agreement, ofiicers and men can return to their 
homes, and remain there until exchanged. 

You will take with you the satisfaction that proceeds from the con- 
sciousness of duty faithfully performed; and I earnestly pray that a mer- 
ciful God will extend to you His blessing and protection. 

With an unceasing admiration of your constancy and devotion to 
your country, and a grateful remembrance of your kind and generous 
consideration of myself, I bid you an affectionate farewell.

ROSES OF MEMORY. 



BY A. C. GORDON. 



A rose's crimson stain, 

A rose's stainless white, 
Fitly become the immortal slain 

Who fell in the great fight. 
When Armistead died amid his foes, 

Girt by the rebel cheer, 
God plucked a soul like a white rose 

In June time o' the year. 

The blood in Pickett's heart 

Was of a ruddier hue 
Than the reddest bloom whose petals part 

To welcome heaven's dew. 
I think the fairest flowers that blow 

Should greet the life-stream shed 
In that historic long ago 

By this historic dead. 

The immemorial years 

Such valor never knew 
As poured a flood of crimson blood 

At Gettysburg with you. 
Living and dead, in faith the same, 

I see you on that height, 
Crowned with the rosy wreath of fame 

Won in the fatal fight. 

Not these had made afraid 

King Arthur's mystic sword, — 
Not Bayard's most chivalric blade. 

Nor Gideon's, for the Lord. 
Yours was the strain of high emprise. 

Yours the unfaltering faith,— 
The honor lofty as the skies. 

The duty strong as death. 

When Douglas flung the heart 

Of Bruce amid his foes. 
And said : " He leads. We do not part ; 

I follow where he goes" ; 



No mightier impulse stirred his soul 

Than that which up yon height 
Moved you with Pickett toward the goal 

Of freedom, in that fight. 

The fair goal was not won, 

The famous fight was lost ; 
But never shone the all-seeing sun 

On more heroic host. 
Your deeds of mighty prowess shame 

All deeds of derring-do 
With which Time's bloody pages flame, 

—Hail and farewell to you ! 

Unto the dead farewell ! 

They are hid in the dark and cold ; 
And the broken shaft and the roses tell 

What is left of the tale untold. 
They are deaf to the martial music's call 

Till a judgment dawn shall break 
When the trumpet of Truth shall proclaim to all : 

" They perished for my sake ! " 

Let them be quiet here 

Where birds and blossoms be ; — 
And hail to you; who bring the tear 

And the rose of memory 
To water and deck each lowly grave 

Of those, who in God's sight 
With loyal hearts their hearts' blood gave 

For the eternal right ! 

Alike for low and high 

The roses white and red ; 
For valor arid honor cannot die. 

And they. were of these dead. 
The private in his jacket of gray 

And the general with his star 
The Lord God knighted alike that day, 

In the red front of War.

OUR DEAD. 



BY FATHER RYAN. 



Gather the sacred dust 

Of the warriors tried and true, 

Who bore the flag of our nation's trust, 
And died for me and you. 

Wherever the brave have died 

They should not rest apart ; 
Living- they struggled side by side — 
Why should the hand of death divide 

A single heart from heart ? 

Gather them each and all 

From the private to the chief; 
Came they from cabin or lordly hall, 
Over their dust let the fresh tears fall 
Of a nation's holy grief 

No matter whence they came. 

Dear is their lifeless clay — 
Whether unknown or known to fame, 

Their cause and country were the same- 
They died — and wore the gray. 

Gather the corpses strewn 

O'er many a battle plain; 
From many a grave that lies so lone, 
Without a name and without a stone — 

Gather the Southern slain. 

And the dead shall meet the dead. 

While the living o'er them weep; 
For the men who Lee and Stonewall led, 
And the hearts that once together bled, 
Should now together sleep. 



About HoFse Shoes. 



▼ ▼ T ▼ ▼ T 

The shoeing of horses with iron has added more to the con- 
venience and wealth of man than perhaps any other invention of 
the ages. We find it practiced by the ancients with very crude 
forms of hand-made shoes, which were both ugly and burdensome 
to the animal, but in a fashion serv^ed the intended use. In modern 
times shoes are made lighter and of better forms, which add greatly 
to the appearance and endurance of the animal. They have been 
brought to a great degree of perfection in both quality of material 
■and mechanism in the Old Dominion Shoes, which are works of art. 

These shoes are made in this city, and are sold by all first- 
class dealers throughout this country'. These Shoes are made in a 
variety of forms and weights. The Company will gladly send 
illustrated catalogue on request.

WAR-TIME ARITHMETIC, 



How the Rudiments of Mathematics were Taught to Southern Children. 

In a second-hand book store the other day a visitor hoiiulil for a dime a little^ 
old, worn, and castaway volume which, in the manner of its forms and examples^ 
told a simple and pathetic story of the gloom and sorrow which darkened even 
the innocent lives of children at the South during the weary years of war. It 
was a copy of a school arithmetic, one for beginners, and was published at Ral- 
eigh, N. C., in 18(53, by Branson & Farrar. The author was L. Johnson, pro- 
fessor of mathematics" in Trinity College, who modestly says in his preface : 

" The great demand for books at this time of an elementary character in the 
Southern Confederacy has called forth this little volume. Nothing new or origi- 
nal has been attempted. The compass of the work is such that it can be thor- 
oughly learned by the youth of either sex before their presence at home or the 
demands of their country debar the privilege of attendance at school." 

WAR AND ARITHMETIC. 

The spirit which then animated the people of the South is manifest on every 
page, and in almost every example of this little book. It is the spirit of war. 
The questions do not ask" the youthful scholar how many flowers it would take 
to enable him to give two to each of his three companions, nor how many peaches- 
John and CharleV together would have if one had four and the other three. 
There is no puzzl'ing inquiry as to how many lambs Jennie would have if to her 
present nine five others were added, or how many ginger cakes Walter would 
have left if he divided his dozen equally with Susie. 

None of such mild elements would do for the times. The life of the South 
and the impulses of its people were hedged about by war. Little wonder, then, 
that the author of this arithmetic should discard the common things of life, and 
use for illustrating his examples the terrible actual elements involved in the- 
mighty combat, whose thunders floated from bloody fields through the school- 
house windows. How plainly and how vividly the infiuences and forces then 
engaging the men of the South are shown in the following examples from the 
little old arithmetic of 18(33 : 

"Five soldiers are in one tent and ten in another. How many soldiers are 
there in both ? " 

" Ninety soldiers are in one company and twenty in another. How many sol- 
diers are there in both "/ " 

"Twenty-eight men were sent out on picket duty, four in a company. How 
many companies were there ? " 

" A captain of cavalry paid $100 for a horse and $100 more for a pistol. How 
many dollars did both cost him ? " 

"A company of 100 men went into an engagement where fifty were killed. 
How man}' were left ? " 

"A Confederate soldier captured eight Yankees each day for nine consecutive 
days. How man}- did he capture in all V " 

"Seven Confederate soldiers captured twenty-one Yankees, and divided them 
equally between them. How many did each one have ? " 

"If "one Confederate soldier can\vhip seven Yankees, how many soldiers can 
whip fortv-nine Yankees ? " 

"If one Confederate soldier kill ninety Yankees, how many Yankees can ten 
Confederate soldiers kill ?" 

"If thirty-two soldiers eat 896 pounds of beef in a w.-ek, how many pounds, 
will 175 soldiers eat in a week ? "

Do we weep for the heroes who died for us, 
Who hving were true and tried for us, 
And dying sleep side by side for us; 

The Martyr-band 

That hallowed our land 
With the blood they shed in a tide for us ? 

Ah ! fearless on many a day for us 
They stood in front of the fray for us, 
And held the foeman at bay for us; 

And tears should fall 

Fore'er o'er all 
Who fell while wearing the Gray for us. 

How many a glorious name for us, 
How many a story of fame for us 
They left: Would it not be a blame for us 
If their memories part 
From our land and heart, 
And a wrong to them, and shame for us? 

No, no, no, they were brave for us, 

And bright were the lives they gave for us; 

The land they struggled to save for us 

Will not forget 

Its warriors yet 
Who sleep in so many a grave for us. 

On many and many a plain for us 
Their blood poured down all in vain for us, 
Red, rich, and pure, like a rain for us; 
They bleed — we weep, 
We live — they sleep, 
"All lost," the only refrain for us. 

But their memories e'er shall remain for us. 

And their names, bright names, without stain for us; 

The glory they won shall not wane for us, 

In legend and lay 

Ouir heroes in Gray 
Shall forever live over again for us.

THE FIGHT OF THE "HATTERAS" AND 
"ALABAMA." 



Off Galveston, the Yankee fleet secure at anchor lay 
Preparing for a heavy fight they were to have next day ; 
Down came the Alabama, like an eagle o'er the wave, 
And soon their gunboat Hatteras had found a watery grave. 

'Twas in the month of January ; the day was bright and clear ; 

The Alabama she bore down ; no Yankee did we fear ; 

Their commodore he spied us ; to take us long he burned ; 

So he sent the smartest boat he had, but she never back returned ! 

The sun had sunk far in the west when down to us she came ; 
Our captain quickly hailed her, and asked them for her name; 
Then spoke our first lieutenant, for her name had roused his ire, 
"This is the Alabama ; now, Alabamas, fire." 

Then flew a rattling broadside, that made her timbers shake ; 
And through the holes made in her side the angry waves did break ; 
We then blew up her engine, that she could steam no more— 
They fired a gun to leeward, and so the fight was o'er. 

So thirteen minutes passed away before they gave in beat ; 

A boat had left the Yankee's side, and pulled in for their fleet ; 

The rest we took on board of us, as prisoners to stay ; 

Then stopped and saw their ship go down, and then we bore away. 

And now, to give our foes their due, they fought with all their might ; 
But yet they could not conquer us, for God defends the right ; 
One at a time tlie ships they have to fight us they may come, 
And rest assured that our good ship from them will never run.

THE NINTH OF APRIL, 1865 



U is a nation's death-cry ; yes, the agony is past, 

The stoutest race that ever fought, to-day hath fought its last ; 

Aye ! start and shudder, well thou raayst, well veil thy weeping eyes ; 

England, may God forgive thy part-man cannot but despise. 

Aye, shudder at that cry that speats the South's supreme despair - 
Thoii that could save and saved'st not-that would, yet did not dare ; 
Thou that hadst might to aid the right and heart to brook the wrong. 
Weak works of comfort for the weak, strong hands to help the strong. 

That land, the garden of thy wealth one haggard waste appears- 
The ashes of her sunny homes are slaked in patriot tears- 
Tears for the slain who died in vain for freedom on the field- 
Tears, tears of bitter anguish still for those who live to yield. 

The cannon of his countn/ pealed Stuart's funeral knell, 
His soldiers' cheers rang in his ears as Stonewall JacVson fell, 
Onward o'er gallant Ashby's grave swept war's successful tide. 
And Southern hopes were living yet when Polk and Morgan died. 

But he, the leader, on whose words those captains loved to wait. 
The noblest, bravest, best of all, hath found a harder fate ; 
Unscathed by shot and steel he passed o'er many a desperate field, 
Oh, God ! that he hath lived so long, and only lived to yield ! 

Along the war-worn, wasted ranks that loved him to the last. 
With saddened face and weary pace the van<iuished chieftain passed, 
Their own hard lot the men forgot, they felt what liis must be. 
What thoughts in that dark hour must wring the heart of General Lee. 

The manly cheek with tears was wet— the stately head was bow'd. 
As, breaking from their shattered ranks, around his steed they crowd ; 
" I'did my best for you "—'twas all those trembling lips could say— 
Ah ! happy those whom death hath spared the anguish of to-day. 

Weep on, Virginia ! weep these lives given to thy cause in vain— 
The sons who live to wear once more the Union's galling chain— 
The homes whose light is quench'd for aye— the graves without a stone- 
The folded tlag— the broken sword— the hope forever flown. 

Yet raise thy head, fair land, thy dead died bravely for the right— 

The folded flag is stainless still-the broken sword is bright ; 

No blot is on thy record found— ho treason soils thy fame .' 

Weep thou thy dead— with cover'd head we mourn our England's shame.

CARRYING OUT HIS ORDERS. 



Hugh Mc , a son of the Emerald Isle, who had volunteered in 

the sixth regiment of South Carolina infantry, was stationed on the beach 
of Sullivan's Island, with strict orders to walk between two points, and to 
let no one pass him without the countersign, and that to be communicated 
only in a whisper. Two hours afterward, the corporal, with the relief, 
discovered, by the moonlight, Hugh up to his waist in water, the tide 
having set in since he was posted. 

" Who goes there ? " "Relief" " Halt, relief Advance, corporal, 
and give the countersign." 

Corporal. — " I'm not going in there to be drowned. Come out here, 
and let me relieve you. 

Hugh. — " Divil a bit of it. The lieutenant tould me not to lave me 
post." 

Corporal. — "Well, then, I'll leave you in the water all night" (going 
away as he spoke). 

Hjigh. — " Halt ! I'll put a hole in ye, if ye pass without the counter- 
sign. Them's me orders from the leftenant " (cocking and levelHng his 

gun). 

Corporal. — "Confound you, everybody will hear it if I bawl out to 

you." 

Hugh. — "Yes, me darlin, and the leftenant said it must be given in a 
whasper. In with ye, me finger's on the trigger, and me gun may go 

off." 

The corporal had to yield to the force of the argument and wade in to 
the faithful sentinel, who exclaimed : "Bejabers, it's well ye've come, 
the bloody tide has a most drowned me."
